Top enemies: Rick Santorum, Westboro Baptist Church and Fox News. Which of the following explains this? (a) Liberals are heavier Facebook users; (b) Liberals have more enemies; (c) Liberals are earlier adopters of new apps. :)

(d) Conservatives are more centralized.

Quick, what's the most influential Libral TV station?

I expect that most of the people using this app now - early adopters, readers of tech news - are (to use a broad term) geeks. Geeks are, in my experience, more likely to be liberal. It would be interesting to know A) If this is actually true (someone's done a study) and B) If so, why this is.

John: People don't have archememies.

Sherlock: What?

John: In real life. People don't have archenemies.

Sherlock: That sounds a bit dull. See, in Facebook, I can have as many archenemies as I want!

I always wanted a dislike button.. I would use it on 99% of the status updates I read, especially egotistical updates that make me feel jealous.

Would you though? I imagine I would iff the dislikes were anonymous. However, if that were the case 99% of all feedback on posts would probably be anonymous/negative. Much as I'd like a dislike button, I can see why Facebook haven't done it.
